Hi All, I am new to RPA in Appian, my requirement is to download the excel report from external site and pass it to appian process model, then in appian we can read the excel data and write it to our Database. We have a URL to external site, for example, URL - https://abc.com and inside this site lets assume we have below document links to download Document(A) Document(B) Document(C) from the above documents, RPA should download only Document(B) and should pass it to Appian Process Model. Here I am not getting any reference for creating a Robotic task for this action, so could you please help me with the details/steps how to proceed further. Thanks in Advance!

a!localVariables( local!selectedGroup: ri!initialGroup, local!actionTaken: if( isnull(ri!btnAction), false, or(ri!btnAction = "ADD", ri!btnAction = "MOVE") ), local!distinctUsers: if( a!isNullOrEmpty(local!selectedGroup), "Please select a group", a!flatten( a!forEach( items: local!selectedGroup, expression: a!localVariables( local!group: fv!item, a!forEach( items: getdistinctusers({ fv!item }), expression: a!map( id: fv!index, Group: local!group, Members: fv!item ) ) ) ) ) ), local!pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1, batchSize: 10), { a!sectionLayout( label: "User & Group Management", contents: { a!pickerFieldGroups( label: "Pick Groups", labelPosition: "ABOVE", maxSelections: 5, value: ri!initialGroup, saveInto: {

Step1: Getting data using rule input. Ex: rule input is of integer type and the current value is 1000. Step 2: create local variable and fill with the rule input value that is 1000 Step 3: on button click, rule input value gets changed to 2000. CASE: As soon as rule input value is getting changed my local variable value is also updated with the new value but I don't want to update my local variable value. Local variable value should be 1000 doesn't matter my rule input value gets changed or not.

Currently, I am preparing for my Appian Certified Associate Developer ACD100 exam. I joined online forums and communities and got knowledge from experts. I took the Appian Certified Associate Developer ACD100 practice test from P2PExams and it was helpful. By taking this practice material I noticed a huge improvement in my concepts related to the final test. Now I feel that after practicing with this practice test material I can perform better in the final exam.  Does anyone want to share other resources regarding ACD100 exam preparation?

Hello Everyone, I am working with record type. There is a requirement to prepare record type using rule input. This is the logic I am using: a!forEach( items: ri!reminderInfo, expression:fv!item['recordType!{e5a6a458-a1b1-4679-91c9-944cecdfdac6}AMS_DG Appointment Reminder.fields.{5515212e-0535-40f5-aa3e-1d92c83c23ca}appointmentId': index(ri!appointmentInfo,'recordType!{5746f330-8c31-4ea7-9807-cbbd2fd557eb}AMS_DG Appointment.fields.{274539be-ac91-4f4c-95ed-69bd50175dae}appointmentId',null), 'recordType!{e5a6a458-a1b1-4679-91c9-944cecdfdac6}AMS_DG Appointment Reminder.fields.{e7f92751-d0c8-4ce6-a252-2bd4b3bee143}createdBy': index(ri!appointmentInfo,'recordType!{5746f330-8c31-4ea7-9807-cbbd2fd557eb}AMS_DG Appointment.fields.{9cc0bbe6-dc99-4b3c-bf8b-e70e36fbbbb0}createdBy',null), 'recordType!{e5a6a458-a1b1-4679-91c9-944cecdfdac6}AMS_DG Appointment Reminder.fields.{82394d77-2331-4196-9d8e-3aaaf57888a3}createdOn': index(ri!appointmentInfo,'recordType!{5746f330-8c31-4ea7-9807-cbbd2fd5

Hello everyone, I have a main process model that contains an input form. I would like to allow users in allowed group to access this input form from my task list interface. I have configured a Task report based on my main process and use the task Id for the process task link in the task list. However when I click on the task from My task list, it is showing "The task may have been deleted or completed by another assignee". What will be the possible solution for this error?' By far I have checked these areas:  - Input form's assignment tab is assigning to a group that contains my account.  - Process is chained probably. - The task ID that I clicked to open is still active (is at the input form node). Could anyone help? Thank you!

Hi everyone,  I have seen 2 posts with same error but didn't find any solution that works for my case.  I have created a view, and a record type with data source is an expression rule that query data from the view. The rule will return me below data subset. When I check the record list, I can see data being presented without any error.   However, when I create a gridField based on my record type's data, I got this error. I checked and can verify that my data don't contain any duplicated row. Is there any other reason that I should look at? Thank you,

Hi Everyone, Can anyone please help me how to get group from group attribute in appian.

Hello, I am getting this error whenever I try to save and publish my process model. It's so weird because I do not have any constant with the name in the screenshot. I've looked all over my interface and it doesn't exist. The only two constants that I have are pointers to a connected system I made. It's worth mentioning that since I'm developing something relevant to another existing interface that did have that constant, I'm assuming the error is persisting because of it? I deleted the original process model and made one from scratch, still didn't work. I also generated a new action from the related record type, replaced the automatically generated interface with my own and the error still persists Any help is appreciated! I've searched everywhere but couldn't find any solution to this.

Hello, I'm trying to send a file from my Appian application to a remote server that has its own hostname, username, password, and key file. I have implemented the process to do this. While attempting to connect to this remote server, I have configured the file transfer configuration like this: 'type!{plugins.ps.appiancorp.com/.../}FT_Config'( serverPort: 22, serverHostName: cons!ETT_HostName, privateKeyFile: cons!ETT_SERVER_PRIVATE_KEY_RSA ) However, I still don't know how to successfully connect to the server, even though the process does not throw any errors. How can I resolve this? I'm really stuck; I can't find documentation, tutorials, or even an explanation of how the plugin works for beginners, which is a very terrible thing for such an important plugin. The problem is that the process is not throwing any errors and there's no logic to connect to the server without the username and password.
